A company hosts its website on Amazon S3. The website serves petabytes of outbound traffic monthly, which accounts for most of the company's AWS costs. What should a solutions architect do to reduce costs?
A.
Configure Amazon CloudFront with the existing website as the origin.
B.
Move the website to Amazon EC2 with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes for storage.
C.
Use AWS Global Accelerator and specify the existing website as the endpoint.
D.
Rearchitect the website to run on a combination of Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda.
I cleared the exam today, here is my experience for reference....
Nearly 40% of the questions are from in this dumps(few are twisted little). Please be thorough in the topics also so that will help in identifying and choosing the right answers. All the best all!
A - correct. Reason: whenever architecture is about massive data & reads (or cached rezults) -here it said output- server by the (global) customers, CloudFront helps with distribution of S3 data and less distribution costs (for reads); however CloudFront does not help for uploads (writes) to S3, if so it would be, most likely, about Transfer Accelerator for those cases. Here only A makes sense between all options.
For ones thinking about AWS Global Accelerator; that only helps in delivering better latency to customer resources, routing through edge locations BUT that does not help reducing the costs for reads, only adds costs (so not the request we got).
